Homemade hot chocolate

A mug full of hot chocolate on a cold fall or winter day can’t be beat.

Instead of reaching for a packet of hot chocolate and a tea kettle of hot water, try making real, homemade hot chocolate. It’s richer and creamier than the packaged powered varieties, and it’s simple to make! Within ten minutes, you’ll have a mug full of steaming hot chocolate.

Although this recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate could be used instead. And, if you’re willing to spend the money, use higher-quality chocolate, like Ghihardelli, to create an even richer, more chocolatey drink.
